Primary sport vibe

Grand Slam tennis meets subway sprinting simulator

Best time

Late-afternoon into night during the US Open when the sky and the match both go dark at once

My take

Nowhere else do you pay this much to watch people play a sport you can rent a court for two stops later, and somehow it still feels worth it.
